convert a string back to a pymel class

[Totally Zen]

I've

animal_RIG_A001_v001:body_Fur01Shape

Which is of type : <class 'pymel.core.nodetypes.PgYetiMaya'>

I converted it to a string and it looked like this:

'animal_RIG_A001_v001:body_Fur01Shape' type 'str'

Now I need to get this string and go back to the type:

<class 'pymel.core.nodetypes.PgYetiMaya'>

How do I make it come back after I made it to a string?

You should just pass it back into a PyNode which should instance it back to a class.

import pymel.core as pm

my_class_node = pm.PyNode('animal_RIG_A001_v001:body_Fur01Shape')

Humm!!!!

I didn't mess with this code anymore, but I'll leave it down and thank you very much, Neil Roche!
